I am finding that certain characters need to escaped when run through commands.
For example
If I have a command
command "/Users/blah/abcd[1]"
This doesnt work
If I escape the command and run it as
command "/Users/blah/abcd\[1\]"
it works.
However, I have files with 100s of lines containing lines like this ""/Users/blah/abcd[1]""
While I can replace "[" with "[" and "]" with "]", is there a better way to do this?
I have tried escaping the individual characters, but its very laborious and errorprone.
